DSS's Power Intelligence (Pi) Series is a digital switching solution developed for the marine and transportation markets. It combines state-of-the-art digital switching technology with an attractive user-interface styling to provide designers with an extensive and exciting menu of switching solutions.

DSS offers fully customized keypads to the fit our customer’s design requirements. We also have an extensive offering of standard keypads that allows a designer to build a semi-custom system for a minimal cost. Each standard keypad is laser etched with a customer’s specified button legends, text, or company logo. Standard Keypads are available in 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, & 14-positions with customizable laser-etched markings as well as 4 and 8-position relegendable keypads with interchangeable inserts.

The PME is the intelligence of the system. The PME receives switch requests from the keypad(s) and then processes these commands based on the current system status. The response to a switch request may be an activation or deactivation of a circuit, the start of a timed function, or, in systems with keyless ignition, the locking or unlocking of the system. The PME then sends the system status information to the keypads to turn on/off the indicator LEDs and backlights.
